What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, & I am damn lucky not to have anything kill me yet ;-)
I'm not the fittest, strongest or the fastest.
I've had my challenges in my life but nothing compared to what friends of mine have been through, & I'm determined to use the strength I have now to fight for a better outcome for those facing the devastation a brain tumour diagnosis brings.
All I ask of you is to pop a few quid in :-)
Please donate what you can, every single £1 goes direct to the charity.
Thank you!
So why am I doing this fundraising, and why for Brain Tumour Research?It is not until someone close to you is diagnosed with a Brain Tumour that you truly realise what a devastating form of cancer this is - Brain Tumours kill more people under 40 than any other form of cancer - yet Brain Tumour Research receives less than 1% of all cancer research funds.I want to make a difference to the future of Brain Tumour Research - and £2740 is the difference I want to make.Why £2740? This is what it takes to run a dedicated research centre - for just one day.We have now raised enough to fund 14 days on here - and we absolutely want to keep going.Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity. So please dig deep and donate now
